TOILET-MIRRORS. No.194 ,078.

JAMES G. DIVOLL, OF SONORA, CALIFORNIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN TOILET-MIRRORS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 194,078, dated August 14, 1877; application filed June 8, 1877.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES G. D1voLL, of Sonora, Tuolumne county, State of California, have invented a Toilet-Mirror; and I do hereby declare the following description and accompanying drawings are sufficient to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which it most nearly appcrtains to make and use my said invention without further invention or experiment.
My invention relates to a novel method of combining one or more adjustable mirrors with a stationary mirror for toilet purposes.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure l isa perspective view of my device. Fig. 2 is a section of the cup.
Let A represent a stationary mirror, which can either be permanently attached to a base, secured to a. wall, or mounted, in the usual Way, in a frame over a bureau or other toiletstand.
B is a strong rod or wire, which projects from above the mirror A to a distance in front of it. To the outer end of this rod or Wire I secure a cup, 0, or other device which will support the adjustable mirror or mirrors, as hereinafter described.
The rod or wire B can be straight or curved, although I prefer to make it curved, so that it will be out of the way.
D D represent two adjustable mirrors, although one or any larger number of such mirrors can be used. Each mirror is suspended from one end of a curved rod or wire, 0, the opposite end of which is supported in the cup 0, so that it can swivel about and in a circle.
The manner in which I have mounted the inner ends of these rods in the cup in the present instance is as follows: In the center of the cup is an upright standard, f, upon the upper end of which is a broad flat head, g. Each rod has a horizontal plate, z, secured to it, near its end, through the end of which a hole is made, which will fit over the standard f. The extremity of the rod or wire extends down to or near the bottom of the cup, and has a forked plate, 0, secured to it, which straddles the foot of the standard f, thus bracing and holding the rods with suspended mirrors in the desired plane, and allowingthem to be swiveled around and in a circle as far as their attachments will permit.
A joint can be made in each rod or wire 6, to permit the suspended mirrors to be turned without shifting the position of the suspending-rod in its cupbearing, if desired.
I prefer to suspend the mirrors between two branching arms, 2) 10, which depend from the outer end of each 'wire or rod 0, so that they can be tilted to any required angle.
This arrangement of the mirrors is especially adapted for toilet purposes, as, by shifting the adjustable mirrors, a person standing in front of the fixed mirror A can see every part of the head, and especially the back hair.,
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
The fixed rod or wire B, arranged to project from above a permanent mirror, A, and provided with a cup, 0, with its standardf, in combination with one or more adjustable mirrors, D, suspended, by means of curved wires or rods e, from the cup 0, in the manner above described, so that the said mirrors can be adjusted to any desired position in the circle, substantially as and for the purpose described.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal.
JAMES GEORGE DIVOLL. [L. S.]
